Hi Sue - For traditional Binche patterns, you may enjoy books by Michael Giusiana, who does reconstructions of antique laces. His first two books are out of print, but "Binche: Around the Corner" (the second of these books) may still be available from some vendors. His third book, "Binche II: The Old becomes New" is still available. And "Binche III" is due out any time now. Anny Noben-Slegers has published some lovely new designs, and has collaborated with other members of the Kantcentrum Master Class to produce "Hoop", a stunning panel created to benefit Cancer research. More recently, they published "Horoscoop" which depicts the signs of the zodiac. Other nice patterns are available in the "Memoire" portfolios (there are three) and "Collection" portfolios, all by Kumiko Nakazaki (another member of the Master Class). I believe Barbara Fay carries most of these. (www.barbara-fay.de)
